Don Lewis

Don Lewis gave so much to the world of modern music, that words simply cannot tesitify to his greatness and generosity. He was a major talent and an inspiration to all who heard his music. His skills in the development of the modern synthesizer and MIDI are immeasurable! May he Rest in Paradise!!! Blessings to this family and loved ones!

My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted army fans of Mr. Don Lewis. Mr. Don Lewis was a legendary synth player who worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson and who invented the Live Electronic Orchestra, the inspiration for MIDI. He was greatly admired by many fellow artists and all those who knew him.

So sorry for your loss. He was left a wonderful legacy for the family to remember and cherish. May your loving heavenly Father comfort you all in the days and months ahead.

I met Don in the early 70s after a promotional performance while working with ARP Instruments. We became friends through our work together with that company. He was one of the most honest, loving and joyful people I’ve ever known. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Don Lewis was such a positive powerful influence in my life. I loved listening to him and my father play music in our basement. He played in our church and he was a family friend through the years. I babysat his two sons for many years. I will miss him dearly.

Rest in Peace. We will miss you every day! I´m happy that we were able to connect during your last month. I will treasure our conversations and your happy and peaceful demeanor. So sad that you will not be around to see your life´s work come to fruition when PBS will air your documentary in the spring of 2023. Julie, you are in our prayers every day!

Don brought a bright light, his joy filled presence always lifted us up, his music inspired, entertained, amazed and you couldn’t help but smile when you spent even a few minutes with him. He was always willing to share his music, and used it not just to entertain, but to teach us. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him and loved him. He must be in heaven playing music with the angels. Maybe if we are very quiet and listen, we can hear him. God bless you and thank you for being a...

We had the privilege of being close friend of Don and his lovely wife Julie and are hearts are heavy with Don's passing. Before COVID 19, Don and Julie were guest at our home and played piano singing praises to our Lord, a moment that will never be forgotten. We know that Don is in heaven with a choir of Angles watching over all of us.

Rest well Don! Thanks for your great contributions to music! You have been an inspiration to myself and many others!
